Doyle was    4    . He asked the driver if he had ever seen him before.

“No, sir,” the driver responded. “I have    5    seen you before.” Then he    6    : “This morning’s paper had a story about you being on     7     in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand where people who return from Marseilles always arrive. Your    8    color tells me you have been on vacation.

The man who invented Coca-Cola was not a native Atlanta, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town shut up the shop in honor of him. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Pemberton was a chemist, sometimes known as Doctor, who, during the Civil War, became an officer and led a cavalry troop. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began making such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup.

In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later, he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and hired an accountant named Frank M. Robinson, who had not only a good head for figures, but, attached to it, so unique a nose that he could judge the ingredients of a batch of syrup merely by sniffing it.

In 1886 --- a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Cola officials like to point out, the English writer Conan Doyle made Sherlock Holmes known publicly and France found the truth about the Statue of Liberty --- Pemberton invented a syrup that he called Coca-Cola. It was a change of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a bit of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some cola nut oil and a few other oils, mixing the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar.

He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his elegant account’s script, instantly designed a label, on which "Coca-Cola" was written in the style which is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a drink than as a headache cure.

One morning in 1886, a man suffering from a headache dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola. According to usual practice, druggists should pour a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but at that time, the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. After drinking it, the suffering customer cheered up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy (冒泡泡的)one.

According to the passage, which of the following about Pemberton is wrong?

A. He was highly respected by Atlantans because of his great contribution. 

B. Medicines like Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup are his patent products.

C. During the Civil War, he was an officer of a cavalry troop, a chemist and a doctor.

D. Coca-Cola which is very popular now was invented by him.

Why do contemporary Coca-Cola officials especially like to mention the year 1886?

A. Because Conan Doyle contributed to Pemberton’s Coca-Cola invention.

B. Because France sent the Statue of Liberty to America and Pemberton loved it.

C. Because they are still proud of Pemberton’s invention.

D. Because Pemberton made more money for the company this year than in any other year.

What does the passage tell us about Frank M. Robinson?

A. He helped his boss and began making patent medicines together with his boss in 1869.

B. He had a special nose with an acute sense of smell and especially was good at drawing.

C. When he found the end product tasted awful, he threw in some cola nut oil and other oils.

D. He designed a label “Coca-Cola” for the Coca-Cola Company with his elegant handwriting.

How did Pemberton change French Wine Coca formula to make it taste delicious?

A. He mixed it with several oils instead of water.         

B. He put some beer into the mixture.

C. He added more coffee into the mixture than before.     

D. He added some cola nut oil and a few other oils.

According to the passage, what was Coca-Cola intended for at first?

A. It was intended for the children as a soft drink.  

B. It was intended for a substitute for French Wine Coca

C. It was intended for a cure for the common headache        

D. It was intended for the need of the war

                                        Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.

   Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few

belongings and without so much as a note or a good--bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing

from home--the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others

rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a

different identity.

   To those left behind, this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.

  Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well

planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems

able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself,is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty,upset and empty."

51. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle________.

  A. could not forgive him for taking the children

   B. had been expecting it to happen for some time

   C. could not understand why

   D. blamed herself for what had happened

52. Most people who leave their families behind them___________.

   A. do so without warning

   B. do so because of their debts

   C. come back immediately

   D. change their names

53. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse

     Because_________.

   A. their spouse would feel no pain during the death

   B. their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence

   C. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure

   D. their spouse death would make them feel less painful

54. Which might be the best tire of the passage?

   A. Broken Marriage       B. New life after Desertion

   C. A New Social Problem  D. Desertion and its Influence

55. What can be inferred from the passage?

   A. Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family.

B. Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness.

C. Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won't marry again.

D. Eileen's husband, together with his four kids, were probably killed in an accident.
